Pedagogy is commonly understood as the approach to teaching: the theory and practice of how learning happens and how it is shaped by, and shapes, the social, political and psychological development of learners. Studied as an academic discipline, pedagogy examines how knowledge and skills are imparted in an educational setting and the interactions that occur during learning. Both its theory and its practice vary widely across social, political and cultural contexts, so pedagogy names a family of situated practices rather than one fixed method.
